We’ve conducted hundreds of interviews on this and other shows here at the Greylock Glass—all of them still available. We produced many of those shows as a public service, in an effort to help you make critical decisions in your life. Today’s show is just such an episode, in which we bring you a full length interview with Congressional candidate Tahirah Amatul-Wadud, who faces off against incumbent Representative Richard Neal in September’s Democratic primary.

Links to Tahirah’s site are, of course, available in the shownotes. I’d be really interested in what you all think about this election, so don’t hesitate to leave a comment in the discussion at the bottom of the post for this episode.

That’s it for this episode of the Top Left Corner. I’ve been your host, Jason Velazquez. Until next time, stay safe, be good to each other, and Pete’s sake, go easy on yourself.

About

The Greylock Glass is the ONLY independent alternative newsthing in Western Mass. We write articles, reviews, and opinion pieces. We do podcasts. We stream. We do video. Sometimes we do streaming video. We even do live events. You don’t have to bow down before our greatness. But if you do, would you mind looking under the couch? I think I lost a cheeze ball under there.

You tipped that bitchy barista a buck to screw up your latte this morning. Again.
